Zhao Zhen pointed out that Wu Lei's latest goal in the national team was the moment when his header hit the goalpost in that encounter with Saudi Arabia, but it was thanks to a set-piece opportunity. Simply put, the current national soccer team's midfield lacks effective passing ability, which directly limits Wu Lei's play. Zhao Zhen suggested that given Wu Lei's characteristics, it might be more appropriate for him to come on as a substitute in the second half. Coming on as a substitute in the second half, the Chinese Super League's top scorer's performance may have unsettled some fans, but isn't that how Argentine star Lautaro Martinez became a soccer hero step by step? So why did Wu Lei choose to turn down such an opportunity? For the national soccer team, perhaps players should be allowed to play in the positions they are most familiar and comfortable with, rather than having power players hardened into roles they are not good at. !

As fans at large have said, even in South Korea or Japan, Wu Lei can show the same great strength. However, the national soccer team lacks players who can pass the threatening ball, even if Wu Lei's positional sense is sharp, it is still difficult to turn the situation around. !
